Pfft. Real hoopy froods play Heroclix.
I do not play Heroclix but I bought some about 20 years ago.
Jesus christ 20 years? Huh. Also I didn’t notice but it was discontinued in 2008.

Yeah that was my read of the game from my first exposure to it. “You have to buy cards sight-unseen hoping to get good ones? That’s a scam.”
It’s like they looked at Dungeons and Dragons product churn and thought “No, that’s not shitty enough”
The Auryn project has a sub-project called North Star, founded by a VC partner, and a Bain Capital veteran, among others.
The whole thing gives me the ick.
Books would be really boring if the protagonists were all just the author speaking as themself but using various funny voices.
Shovels that are less and less competitive over time.
Perhaps that’s part of why so many SV types are backing Trump. Grifting off Trump may be their fallback after the AI bubble collapses.
I haven’t seen the details but apparently Apple may not be paying OpenAI for the ChatGPT functionality. So macOS may not be using ChatGPT heavily.
Facebook conspiracy theorist grannies suggest that employment isn’t required.
Yeah, I’m not going to believe anything out of OpenAI that isn’t produced as part of discovery.
So who is going to be first to set up a grifty EA think tank where the thinking is admittedly all done by LLMs, and why shouldn’t it be us.
Shirley Manson or GTFO. But I don’t think they’d like her.
One wonders if one of those ready to go apps in Slack is a Slack app that runs inside of Slack.
Frankly I’d be more impressed if they had a lab of non-thermodynamic devices.
All you need to know about Gruber is in this claim of his about phone photography, in a critique of a NY Times tech journalist who deigned to acknowledge that readers could just use flash to get better low-light photos:
A mainstream technology columnist should be explaining to readers why they should not use flash, and how best to capture low-light photographs without it. “You could always just use flash” is technology malpractice.
In reality, a mainstream technology columnist’s job isn’t to encourage readers to cough up hundreds of dollars to buy the newest phone for the sake of something that might be of negligible importance to most of them.
Gruber clearly thinks his job is to always encourage readers to buy the latest Apple phone. At least when his job isn’t to sniff his own farts.
Flash is also technology! Most photography and videography is done using artificial light! There aren’t many people walking around with spy satellite lenses like fucking Kubrick to do natural light camera work.
Also I think he’s a bit of a fancy watch douchebag.

To be fair though rodents can have pretty huge balls. Like dragging on the ground behind them huge.
I’m not sure the “frontiers in” journals are all that reputable.
Doh! Should have read the full Wikipedia article.
